Examples
Before running this example, load a project with a class and insert the following line along with the example code. After both the line and the example code are added, click the Delegate line to place the insertion point there, and then run the example.

Remarks
In Visual Studio, the DTE is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application".
Note
The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
